Tackling Child Abuse in Scotland: A Guide for Funders

In order to make better decisions about our grant making, we commissioned a series of reports from New Philanthropy Capital to identify some of the priority needs and some of the solutions that could make an impact.

The RS Macdonald Charitable Trust is able to support charities that provide care and welfare for children and young people who have been, or are in danger of being, abused. We are also keen to support work that will reduce the likelihood of abuse taking place.

This report sets out some ideas, but that is only the start of the process for us. We want to prompt discussion with beneficiary charities and other interested people. Do you agree with the findings? Are there important topics that have not been addressed? Please leave a comment below or let us know if you would like to write a short blog sharing your ideas. Let us know what you think #childabuse
